A compelete conviction dominated the Islamic field that reigning has been fixed at the hands of sunnis, certain geographic, racial and ideological factors helped that fixation, here is not the proper time to explain them in detail but here we merely hint to them, it is clear that the party which holds power attracts all energies but some exceptions and that was what exactly had happened as the proponants of the party in power monopolized every thing in the field using different means while shi’ites were forced out of the field, the belief that rule remains at the hand of sunnies resulted that shi’ites were antagonized by opportunists.

shi’ites’ thought and jurisprudence is known of its literal alherance to sacred texts, they don’t subject the text to other considerations such as interst, or to the viewpoint of the doctrine when it contrasts with the doctrine as a result of that there is no room here for that who wish to gain a share or that who wants to jump over the signification of texts to reach one of these aims at the time which the signification of text has been extended in order to open a vast space for the expectation searching for a vent to go through for its interest eventhough at the expense of religion for this reason and other reasons people overlooked shi’itic thought, then this overlooking of the shi’itic intellect developed into an attack under the guise of sluggishness and the disability to keep with the spirit of the text, a pretext used to veil their interest although it was covered with another guise.

This trend formed big funds which created a tradition difficult to be dissent from, the proponents of this tradition attacked what contradicts with it even though by distorting truths. These are merely some examples and samples of many factors which resulted in creating that huge amount of slanders against shi’ites and as a result of what we have mentioned the intellectual and social activities of shi’ites must dwindle because of successive blows on different levels.
